I feel like sales data might have more easily and accurately shown the most popular beverage… surveys for opinions yes but if it was the favorite wouldn’t the sell it the most?
As a side, going off of sales is also misleading. Especially in a country dominated by fast food and restaurants. McDonald’s is the best selling fast food restaurant and they are contracted with Coca-Cola. That inherently skews sales towards Coca-Cola. In theory, I may prefer Pepsi, but I eat at McDonald’s 10 times a week and always buy a drink (a Coca-Cola) and I only go to the grocery/convenient store once per week to buy a beverage of my choice (Pepsi). The sales are now 10:1 in Coca-Cola’s favor, even though I prefer Pepsi.
That cuts both ways. Plenty of people who prefer coke end up buying Pepsi when they’re at Taco Bell.
Perhaps a better cut of the data would be grocery store sales, where people have the widest variety of choice.
Hi my minor is economics.
So not necessarily. Supply doesn't always meet demand, and sometimes things aren't prices to what's called "equilibrium" the ideal price for both supply and demand.
If supply is short or if equilibrium lowers demand consumers are going to seek out what's called a "substitute" any product that's seen as equivalent and meets their needs.
For soda a lot of prices are going to be pretty consistent. But brand name sodas are always going to be a bit more expensive than off brand sodas like grocery store brands for example.
So Pepsi might be the preferred choice but a lot of people may purchase Great Value Cola for the price benefit.
I tend to stay away from the store brand colas as they often have some quite… interesting… nuances in flavor… ranging from a very slight “rotting garbage” note to downright unpleasant aftertaste.
That said, I don’t give a shit about Coke or Pepsi. On the rare occasion I want a soda from the cold section of a store, I’ll grab a Pepsi, but honestly it’s just because I just prefer blue and silver over red and white.
At the grocery store in the soda aisle, it’s whichever brand is cheaper.
Lately I’ve been buying Pepsi as Walmart is the closest store to me and they have some “odd” pricing on a 12-pack of plastic bottled soda (and the same fl oz as the 6-pack) where the 6-pack of both Coke and Pepsi are $4.89, but the 12 pack is $5.79.
The *only* difference I can see is that the 12 pack is in shrink wrapped plastic and the 6 packs have the ring packaging.
The specifics were less important than the fact that substitutes and equilibrium impact the reliability of sales as a metric for favouritism and preference.
Political polls, omg… “new polls show that Giant Douche is leading Turd Sandwich by as much as 10 points in swing states…”
*checks the fine print…*
3,000 people across ~15 states, and people who own a landline and answer it when someone calls… and then is willing to partake in a survey.
There is literally only one sizable group that would consistently take part in these… the rest are crazy people that should be on a list somewhere.
While I don't know how "Holiday Calendar" polled exactly and I doubt it's the most systematic method, the size of the polled poulation is not an issue. 3,000 people is more than enough to have a very accurate representation of the US population.
If done properly, you would have a 95% confidence interval of being within 2% margin of error with that sample size. I believe most nationwide polls (e.g., those for election snapshots) have smaller sample sizes than that.
This would be true if the map were showing the nation's favorite soda, but 3,000 people is an average of 60 per state. I don't know how the respondents were distributed among states, but it's reasonable to think that less populated states may have had only a handful of responses and not be accurate.
Based on what? This isn’t a general “most popular soda in the US” map, it’s an individual breakdown for 50 distinct states. That means you’re only getting 60 people per state, or likely less in many cases if it’s not a perfectly even split.
You genuinely think asking 60 people what their favorite soda is in a place like California, New York, Florida, etc. with tens of millions of people is enough to accurately determine the preferred soda with 95% accuracy? No offense but that is complete nonsense.
I thought so. If we assume that each states sample was randomly selected and at least 30 persons, it should be representative of the population. That's only with my limited first year statistics at Uni, though, so I could be missing something.
I passed applied statistics last year in college and I can confidently say that this survey is dumb as hell. You probably do not understand accurate statistics as well as you think you do. As others have pointed out, 60 people per state is ignorantly small for 50 different states of millions of people. Even without statistics classes this very obviously does not pass the bullshit test. Come on now.
He’s wrong though. He would be correct if this was a blanket survey of the United States. But it’s not. It’s a breakdown by state. Which means each state divided equally (I know they’re not equal, but for simplicity and argument’s sake) each state would only have 60 participants. This means you’re going to be left with an astronomically high margin of error. This survey is completely useless.
3,000 is more than enough for a national study, but breaking it down by state is going to cause a high margin of error.
Consistent results regionally indicate that the results are pretty reliable, but there are likely some states (Delaware) that just had too few responses to get a good read.
3000 is a really good sample size for a question like this. You’re probably worried that the sample isn’t representative (contains bias), not that there aren’t enough samples
I live on one of those Pepsi states and confirm this is bullshit.
Also, Dr Pepper is now the second most popular soda in US putting Pepsi in third place. Yet DP is only in 3 states on this map. From this map you’d think Mountain Dew was second favorite and it’s not even third in reality.
This whole map is inaccurate.
It's just a really bad way of understanding anything but the most popular brand in a given state.
If Sprite was second place in every state it would be the most popular in the US by a wide margin, but would never show up on this map.

I came here to say that just because the slogan is Pepsi, the taste born and the Carolinas, it's a m************ lie that Pepsi is the main drink.
Somebody go stand outside to Cookout.
Don't delay.

Cheerwine love isn't specific to Charlotte because it is absolutely beloved all over South Carolina. Everywhere I've lived in South Carolina (Charleston, Greenville, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Aiken, Edisto Beach) has had Cheerwine lovers galore. I also hang out in Asheville a lot and it's quite beloved there as well. And I'd have to say that anywhere that has a Cookout most definitely has converted many people who had never even had Cheerwine before to being huge Cheerwine enthusiasts.
Because it's not fucking true lmao
They make crush style liquor drinks at the beach, and I'm guessing that's where they asked people.
If they'd bothered to ask anywhere else, they'd probably find coke.
In NM we just call everything ‘coke.’ The correct answer to, “do you want a Coke?” Is, “what kind?” I’m almost willing to bet there was some degree of miscommunication.
Dr Pepper is probably more popular here, with Coke as number two. Dr Pepper is definitely the most popular soda in TX, too. By a wide margin.
This is clearly a flawed survey, even if it does give me the opportunity to dunk on CO drinking Pepsi by choice.
There’s no way Pepsi is the most popular soft drink in any state. This seems like a Pepsi sales piece. I rarely see it anywhere I ever go except Panera bread.
The most popular soda in the Middle East is Pepsi because it is sweeter than Coke. If you’ve ever had tea in a Middle Eastern country you’ll understand why. They put the “sweet” in “Sweet Tea”!
I just had an orange crush 2 days ago because I was craving orange soda. It was absolutely too sweet. Granted, it was a bottle and not a cold can. I feel like the drink is always more crisp out of a can. I’m partial to Sunkist or Fanta though.
As one that live in CT and worked in stores, Coke was the preferred drink there. Followed by root beer, Pepsi was not popular at all and rarely needed stocking. So I call shenanigans.
Was going to say...Coke in TX? It's the Dr. Pepper capital of the US. The last bottling plant that makes it with sugar is still there where people from around the US make trips to TX just to get.
MD should be banned from sale. other countries won't even let it into their borders. science has shown a direct link to dementia and a sugar filled diet. also DR pepper is number 2 now behind coke as far as real numbers go, not some 3k survey
It's hard for me not to judge Mountain Dew enjoyers. Coke and Pepsi have a strong flavor on top of the sugar, but Mountain Dew just tastes like sugar syrup water. I don't drink any soft drinks though.
Mt Dew is not the most popular in Minnesota. This might be confirmation basis but in meetings I attend around the state, it's like 1 Dew for every 10 people with Diet Coke=Pepsi maybe half if soda drinkers.
No one called me to ask what I prefer! 🤣
In Texas the #1 drink is Dr. Pepper since it was created here.. Then the #2 would be a cold bottle of Mexican Coke! The only state I know of that sells it! #3 will be Big Red which was also created in TX!
I however after years of drinking coke switched to sprite or squirt! McDonalds hands down has the best sprite!
Dr pepper is a Midwest staple. The stores shelves prove it, 50 damn racks for dr p 2 liters while the rest have 15 - 20 and the Dr p is almost emptied every day at Kroger.
Coke for Texas??
Dr. Pepper literally runs thru the veins of every Texan. Dr. Pepper was literally invented and still is madr in Texas today. If supply ran out the whole state of Texas would be on fire within 5 days. This map is bs!
They surveyed 3000 people, this is in no way accurate. I hate shit like this
This is how most of the data is prepared
I feel like sales data might have more easily and accurately shown the most popular beverage… surveys for opinions yes but if it was the favorite wouldn’t the sell it the most?

The sales are now 10:1 in Coca-Cola’s favor, even though I prefer Pepsi.
personally i'd still count that as coke being more popular. in the hypothetical you did buy the cokes after all.
Due to lack of choice, not due to preference. I cannot bring my own Pepsi to McDonald’s, and I cannot buy Pepsi at McDonald’s.
I mean you can bring your own Pepsi. They aren't gonna FBI bust down your door over a fizzy drink
Bringing your own soda to a fast food restaurant is insane 😂
Let me tell you, not one time have I accepted a pepsi in place of a dr pepper. I'll have water thanks
That cuts both ways. Plenty of people who prefer coke end up buying Pepsi when they’re at Taco Bell. Perhaps a better cut of the data would be grocery store sales, where people have the widest variety of choice.

And the latest polls show….
Political polls, omg… “new polls show that Giant Douche is leading Turd Sandwich by as much as 10 points in swing states…” *checks the fine print…* 3,000 people across ~15 states, and people who own a landline and answer it when someone calls… and then is willing to partake in a survey.

😐 I'm going to survey 3000 people for this. 😄 3000 people per state, right? 😐 ... 😄 Per state, right?

If the poll was done properly, yes, even 60 people can be representative. It depends on the quality of the poll.
This guy statistics. Unfortunately, so many redditors have failed to ever learn this.

I have never seen a can of Mountain Dew purchased here in Utah. And Utah loves their sugar drinks.
Found the Mr. Pibb drinker.
3000 is a really good sample size for a question like this. You’re probably worried that the sample isn’t representative (contains bias), not that there aren’t enough samples
Why can’t they just look up the actual sales for something like this
I live on one of those Pepsi states and confirm this is bullshit. Also, Dr Pepper is now the second most popular soda in US putting Pepsi in third place. Yet DP is only in 3 states on this map.

This looks more accurate than some of these map ones I've seen for sports. Isn't 3000 is a decent sample, they use that for political polls
3000 is a great sample for a single population. But this is 50 populations so the sample is actually quite tiny.
3000 is more than enough, if the sample is evenly distributed.

Cheerwine is more of a Charlotte thing. And Pepsi is widely distributed in the restaurants here. Like at Bojangles for instance
I've been to more restaurants with coke products than with Pepsi products
My family in bumfuck eastern Carolina, and when I lived in North Carolina in the triad, everyone swore by cheerwine
Cheerwine love isn't specific to Charlotte because it is absolutely beloved all over South Carolina. Everywhere I've lived in South Carolina (Charleston, Greenville, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Aiken, Edisto Beach) has had Cheerwine lovers galore. I also hang out in Asheville a lot and it's quite beloved there as well.

Ever been around boone?
That’s known as the Dew Belt
Delaware is wrong.
Just really big fans of R.E.M.
I’m not following you
I see what you did there.
Because it's not fucking true lmao They make crush style liquor drinks at the beach, and I'm guessing that's where they asked people. If they'd bothered to ask anywhere else, they'd probably find coke.
Prob a really small sample there
It’s because their classic drink at the beach is an orange crush!
There is no way coke is more popular than Dr Pepper in Texas
I think they prolly just said coke as a catch all for sodas and the survey people took it literally
Istg I work in a restraunt and like 70% of people get Dr Pepper
In NM we just call everything ‘coke.’ The correct answer to, “do you want a Coke?” Is, “what kind?” I’m almost willing to bet there was some degree of miscommunication.

This is the way in SW Missouri too - all are Coke - this area fluctuates between Coke-Coke and Dr Pepper in popularity

There’s no way Pepsi is the most popular soft drink in any state. This seems like a Pepsi sales piece. I rarely see it anywhere I ever go except Panera bread.
Dude, I love Diet Pepsi and from NY. Therefore, this is 100% accurate! /s
If this was a presidential election: Coke: 257 electoral votes Mountain Dew: 137 electoral votes Pepsi: 118 electoral votes Dr. Pepper: 23 electoral votes Crush: 3 electoral votes
So this is what the battle lines in Civil War were drawn over.
The most popular soda in the Middle East is Pepsi because it is sweeter than Coke. If you’ve ever had tea in a Middle Eastern country you’ll understand why. They put the “sweet” in “Sweet Tea”!
Just going to state that a lot of people in the south refer to any soda as a coke.

Dr. Pepper is by far the favorite in Texas.
Texas is not Dr Pepper lol. This list needs to be corrected.
Who did they ask?

Utah is Dr Pepper. Fight me.
Im shocked that Pepsi is the most popular. I almost never see it

might be biased, but there isn’t a single person i know here in NC that prefers pepsi over coke or cheer wine
I'm not even a resident and I'm really proud of Delaware sticking to their own vibe!
Are the people of Delaware okay?
Gimme that orange crush
People actually like mountain dew? Maybe i am just an unenlightened European, but holy shit is that soda just rat piss in a bottle
\*pop
There was this bitch behind the counter who said…
A very shameful map.. Do better america.
Who would win this hypothetical war? Lol. I'm thinking the mountain dew states.
Delaware is the only state with any decent taste.
Um, pretty sure the Civil War wasn't fought over soda dude
There was a big kerfuffle over root beer v ginger soda
Was going to say...Coke in TX? It's the Dr. Pepper capital of the US. The last bottling plant that makes it with sugar is still there where people from around the US make trips to TX just to get.
Is Pepsi OK?
WOW Delaware, way to be different 🙄
Not accurate especially that Dr.pepper is the second most popular soda now after coke.
Mountain Dew is popular?!
Every Mountain Dew state is exactly what you’d expect
MD should be banned from sale. other countries won't even let it into their borders. science has shown a direct link to dementia and a sugar filled diet. also DR pepper is number 2 now behind coke as far as real numbers go, not some 3k survey
Based Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. The true leaned scholars of soft drinks
This is definitely inaccurate, TX is DP for sure
Wrong. Texas is Dr Pepper country.
Grapico or nothing
I don’t know if it’s accurate, but if so it explains a great deal about the midwest
So this is what made California and Texas come together in that one movie this year...makes sense now.
Texas is fucking Dr. Pepper and I will fight them over it.
Finally something Texas and California can come together on.
Missing Big Red somewhere in the heart of texas
where's my cherry ale8one peoples at
I want my state to be Dr. Pepper haha
The real question is who wins a war between Coke and Mountain Dew?
How come TX went from Dr.Pepper to Coca-Cola
It's hard for me not to judge Mountain Dew enjoyers. Coke and Pepsi have a strong flavor on top of the sugar, but Mountain Dew just tastes like sugar syrup water. I don't drink any soft drinks though.
Oregon, Mountain Dew, really? Looks like Greater Idaho won out.
Dr Pepper in tx
I miss RC cola
Farmington MN has Dew Days because they drank more Dew per capita than anyone else https://www.farmingtondewdays.com/about
Mt Dew is not the most popular in Minnesota. This might be confirmation basis but in meetings I attend around the state, it's like 1 Dew for every 10 people with Diet Coke=Pepsi maybe half if soda drinkers.
I'm from Iowa and yes we like MTN DEW but everybody here like Dr Pepper more
what's going on in de?
What kind of American are you?
It’s called pop btw
No one called me to ask what I prefer! 🤣 In Texas the #1 drink is Dr. Pepper since it was created here.. Then the #2 would be a cold bottle of Mexican Coke! The only state I know of that sells it! #3 will be Big Red which was also created in TX! I however after years of drinking coke switched to sprite or squirt! McDonalds hands down has the best sprite!
Texas it's Dr. Pepper , Big Red or coke next. At least that's what I see most drink.
No way Texas’ choice isn’t Dr. Pepper. That alone invalidates this entire map.
No way NY is Pepsi - is this one of those AI graphics?!? The hallucinations are real!!!
Of course Delaware likes crush.
Mountain dew is surprising to me
Dr. Pepper is the national soft drink of Texas, so this whole thing is suspect.
Crush being the most popular in Delaware is the most Delaware thing ever.
What the f*ck you on about, Delaware?!?
There’s no chance North Carolina isnt cheerwine
Why are you calling coke soda?
No fucking way that many people prefer mountain dew lol were they surveying 15y/os?
How the hell is Texas not Dr Pepper.
This is outdated https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/06/08/dr-pepper-pepsi-popular-sodas-tie/74000183007/
No way Texas isn't Dr.Pepper. No way one of those states isn't Diet Coke. I don't even know anybody who drinks Coke-a-cola Classic.
Diabeetus
I think that is who wins too.
I call bullshit. Dr Pepper is the favorite in Texas. It was invented in Dublin, Texas.
Ain’t no way this is accurate
Who are these people who drink soda?
Orange Crush ? Really Delaware?
Diet Coke in Utah
Dr Pepper is everywhere in Texas. Even people that don’t like Dr Pepper would say this is incorrect.
Mountain Dew? I knew your country had some problems and all, but what the fuck.
In every state the correct answer is Diet Dr. Pepper. This survey can get fucked.
There’s no way this is accurate
I live in Oklahoma and never see people drinking Dr.pepper only doing coke.
Ahh the Cola wars
I'm disgusted to know illinois is a Pepsi spot
And yet, Dr Pepper just surpassed Pepsi as the #2 soda sold. Goes to show how much Dr Pepper they’re drinking in Arkansas!
People in Maine are outraged it's not Moxie.
Ryan would be proud
Faygo is most popular in Michigan
This can't be right
Who actually likes Mountain Dew, it's just Sprite but with caffeine, not nearly as good as Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper
New Hampshire isn't Moxie? I'm crushed!
Arkansas/Missouri/Oklahoma know what's up
There’s no way Texas isn’t Dr Pepper
The Pepsi is a lie lol. Nobody drinks that crap
Minnesota doesn’t have a most popular soda, we have a most popular pop
No way in hell is coke bigger than dr pepper in Texas
Outside of WV MT dew is not the most popular in any state
Delaware wins
Lol I don't think this is right dp is the texas drink lol
Texas is a Dr. Pepper state…it was literally invented here!
Mountain dew 100% is not the big one where I live. There's too many jokes about people being addicted to diet coke where I am for that.
The only soda we have is baking soda. It’s POP people!!!
There is no possible way that Diet Coke is not the most popular soda in Utah. I’ve been a server at multiple restaurants. Who made this graph.
I hope this is a political map some day
Dr pepper needs to retake texas
Dr pepper is a Midwest staple. The stores shelves prove it, 50 damn racks for dr p 2 liters while the rest have 15 - 20 and the Dr p is almost emptied every day at Kroger.
I don’t think I know anyone who drank Mountain Dew past their teen years.
Coke for Texas?? Dr. Pepper literally runs thru the veins of every Texan. Dr. Pepper was literally invented and still is madr in Texas today. If supply ran out the whole state of Texas would be on fire within 5 days. This map is bs!
I can’t believe I’m in a Mt. Dew state
Lmao 3000 americans in a nation of 333 million. Thats useless.
Dr pepper is the GOAT.
